just saw someone ask if podfic is really necessary… my dude it is the year of our lord 2018 and every mediocre white man with an external mic records himself talking shit about your favorite childhood tv shows and gets PAID for it, let me listen to this Voltron fic in peace please

Podfic is absolutely necessary. If I could get away with never reading a fic in text again I would do it in a heartbeat. 

My eyeballs are dry, my time resource is thin, my field of fucks is barren, my attention ledger is in the red, my timeturner is too rusty to work past 9PM anymore, and my WiFi is random. If I want to read with my eyes, my To Be Read pile of published books is piled to the ceiling. 

If podfic doesn’t work for you, that’s fine, but it’s one of the only things that work for me.

So do let me enjoy fandom a way that is functionally available to me and super fun to boost. Let me enjoy fanworks on public transport, while working, while cleaning dishes, while falling asleep, and while drawing. Let me enjoy a highly personalised, human, fandom-savvy, friendly voice in my ears making me cry in laughter and in pain, hold my thoughts through the good and the bad. 

“Is podfic necessary?” Idk fuckhead, do blind people still exist??

Guys, please please please keep Brazil in your prayers and keep an eye on us.

Today we had the elections and the candidate who’s winning is extremely sexist, homophobic, white supremacist that supports dictatorships and that everything should be solved with guns (he’s also a former member of military).

He has said that women aren’t fit to work bc they can get pregnant, that the reason he had a female child was because he was “weak” when making the baby, that “gayness” is a product of parents not beating their children enough, that the biggest mistake of the horrible dictatorship our country lived in the 60’s was torturing instead of killing, etc.

So far, his hateful speeches have sparked a massive hateful following of people who idolize him and there have been numerous cases of these people doing terrible things in his name. For instance, groups of people chanting on the streets that he will kill gays (a slur was used), people taking pictures using guns in the voting cabin, hacking a fb group of women against this man, his supporters shot and killed a dog for “disrupting” their event and more.

The mainly white male following has spread inummerous fake news about other candidates and are convinced that nazism was a leftist movement and use this info to demonize the main contender, who’s a leftist. This caused the german embassy to release a statement informing them that it was (obviously) actually a right wing movement. Not surprisingly, as radical right wingers, they do not believe it. That, coupled with his VP talk of “race whitening” doesn’t shock anyone here.

The elections will soon be over and he’s winning with a 20% gap. I am completely desolate. I don’t know what to do, how life’s gonna be for me and my friends. I’ve never been more scared in my life. My country is recognized all over the world for its freedom, but we’re about to enter very very dark times.

Please, don’t forget us.

He has now won the election.

Yesterday a black boy my age was killed in a protest and today people are celebrating this “win” setting fireworks on the streets.

We will resist, as always. But we need your help.

we all know 2018 aziraphale uses a flip phone from 2003 right. we’re all clear on this

He has a very nice bakelite phone from around 1940 in the front of the shop, and a much older one in the back of the shop. They are rotary dial phones, of the kind that would need to be rewired to work with today’s exchanges. They have never been rewired and they still phone anywhere on Earth (and probably one place off Earth) perfectly.

I’m not entirely sure that he’ll ever approve of phones that aren’t wired in to the wall.

are you sure? cuz i kind of envision him being addicted to candy crush

god I strive for the confidence of asking the man who both wrote the book and ran the show if he’s sure

In the Twilight universe, “vegetarian” vampires have golden eyes from drinking animal blood, a more ethical source than human blood, which would give them red eyes. It has also been established that a diet of human blood makes vampires physically stronger. So, if the Cullens wanted to become stronger without jeopardizing their morals, could they consume mosquitoes instead? How many mosquitoes would they have to eat to survive? Since mosquitoes drink from both humans and animals, what color would their eyes be? Orange? In this essay, I will

on average an adult has about 4.5-5.5 liters of blood circulating in their body. a female mosquito, when completely full, can hold up to 0.001-0.01 milliliters of blood in their abdomen depending on the species. if we take the average of both (5 liters & 0.0055 milliliters), it would take around 909,090 mosquitos to equal the amount of blood in a single human. although there isnt an exact number of the entirety of the mosquito population, we can use fermi estimation. there is about 57 million square miles of total land area on earth, while say 50 million square miles are habitable for mosquitos. with a rough of estimate of 1 mosquito per 50 square feet (overestimate due to area and time of year). after multiplying the numbers and fixing the units, there is a rough estimated 70 quadrillion mosquitos. theoretically, if a vampire lived in a mosquito dense area, such as brazil, indonesia, malaysia, thailand, etc, and could sustainably hunt around a million mosquitos to fill themselves every time they needed to feed, there would be enough mosquitos to survive on due to their large population and fast reproduction.

This is honestly everything I have ever wanted thank you for your contribution to the cause

Hey guys I think I figured out why vampires can turn into bats
